Juggling responsible parenthood & staying true to Myself: the tightrope walk of parents everywhere. These are just some of My (poly, kinky, queer) experiences.
Me: I love you. Do you love me?
5-year-old son: No, I love mommy
Me: But you can love 2 people
5: Really?
Me: Yes!
5: Ok, I love mommy & I love me
Me:🤦🏾♂️
Wife: 😭
Me: Why are You crying?
Wife: B/c when he thought he could love only 1 person he chose me over himself
It drives me crazy when I see white women raising their Black children to be “color-blind.”
As the Black daughter of a white mother who prepared me for the world by talking about race and racism, I can tell you that you are doing your children a disservice.
My child has requested that I start a trend of eating ice cream while wearing side pouches. So, uhhh. Go get side pouches and then eat ice cream. There, helping. #ReallyNotTrendyTho
